  • Electrostatically dissipative fuel filter
    Patent number: 5164084
    Abstract: A fuel filter for a motor vehicle includes a housing made of a base Nylon 12 material to which are added stainless steel fibers to render the housing electrically conductive while retaining moldability. The electrically conductive housing permits charges generated by the fuel passing through the filtering media to be dissipated to the vehicle body, thereby preventing erosion of the housing and subsequent leaks.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 1991
    Date of Patent: November 17, 1992
    Assignee: Allied-Signal Inc.
    Inventors: Daniel R. Danowski, Sunil K. Kesavan, James W. Martin, James S. Pereira
  • Electrostatically dissipative fuel system component
    Patent number: 5164879
    Abstract: A fuel system component for a motor vehicle constructed from a polymer material to which are added stainless steel fibers to render the component electrically conductive while retaining moldability. The electrically conductive component permits charges generated by the fuel passing through the component to be dissipated to the vehicle body, thereby preventing arcing which causes erosion of the component and subsequent leaks.
